It must be an Android update as that’s all I ever do, and I never installed Gemini. I just checked and it was there, with permissions to access WhatsApp and multiple other apps. I just removed all the permissions and disabled the app. We’ll see if any future updates turn it back on.

Shhhhhneeeeeky bastards.

If I was Google I would be hugely worried about ChatGPT. I’ve started using it to search for info over mainly DuckDuckGo but also Google.
